I was surprised how many folks don't know about this. A bunch of us neighborhood kids came up with it about 40 years ago. And I impliment it into just about every practice session. Fruit and vegetables. As a kid we had numerous apple trees in the yard. Took the apples that were wormy, set them on a log and shot them with a 22. Man did they ever explode! Taught my kids to shoot about 10 years ago. Stopped by the local grocery store and asked if they had any spoiled produce I could have. Got more apples, melons, oranges, ect, than I could use. Set this stuff up a various ranges and shot it. The kids loved the immediate feedback and there was no clean up. I imagine the animals came out at night and cleaned up for us. Just thought I'd throw this out there for those looking to spice up their target session. Stay safe. |

Every November I the Boy Scout Troop I work with does a shooting sports campout. I provide all the guns (.410, .22lr and .32 muzzleloader, all single shots) for the kids to shoot with, and I bring my AR/AK/Romak III/12 gauge for the dramatic demonstrations and safety talks. Around that time of year in OH I can get all kinds of left over halloween pumpkins/gourds from the size of an grapefruit and up. Last year we did a full auto AR demo for them too. Makes great dramatic impact about what those rounds can do, gives immediate feedback. We put a big tarp under the target holders. Then when we are done, just haul it all off to the compost pile at the private club we use. |
